>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1306
>             Project: Commons Lang
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: lang.*
>            Reporter: Arshad Basha
>            Priority: Minor
>             Fix For: 3.6
>
>
> The nullToEmpty method will convert null reference to empty string, for non 
> null str it will return the str as it is (i.e. without striping or removing 
> space)
> This method doesn't strips white-space nor removes control characters from 
> the start and end of the input string like StringUtils.stripToEmpty and 
> StringUtils.trimToEmpty methods.
> This method will allow us to replace common code patterns like the following 
> from client side code:
> 1) if(str == null) {   str = "";  }
> 2) return str == null ? "" : str;
> Examples:
>         assertEquals("", StringUtils.nullToEmpty(null));
>         assertEquals("", StringUtils.nullToEmpty(""));
>         assertEquals("abc", StringUtils.nullToEmpty("abc"));
>         assertEquals("  abc", StringUtils.nullToEmpty("  abc"));
>         assertEquals("abc  ", StringUtils.nullToEmpty("abc  "));
>         assertEquals("abc\t", StringUtils.nullToEmpty("abc\t"));
